This paper addresses the level of publishing productivity of faculty for the years 1991 through 1993 at institutions with membership in the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). The sources of data are the three citations indexes produced by the Institute for Scientific Information. Both raw and normalized data are presented. In addition, these measures are compared with some library-related information, as well as some other institutional data such as numbers of doctorates awarded. Rank-order correlation is employed to examine relationships between variables. In addition, goodness-of-fit tests are used to test hypotheses regarding the relationship between the publishing data and the other variables.
